Detailed analysis of the KIA Picanto 1.2 CVVT GT Line Aut. · 84 CV (2017-2018)
General description
The KIA Picanto GT Line is not just any city car; it's a statement of intent. Into a tiny body, KIA has injected a dose of character and sportiness that elevates it above mere functionality. It's the perfect car for those who seek agility in the city but refuse to drive something boring, a little giant that turns heads wherever it goes.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the Picanto GT Line feels like a fish in water in the urban labyrinth. Its 84 horsepower, managed by a torque converter automatic gearbox, offers a smooth and progressive response, ideal for the constant stop-and-go of traffic. Don't expect acceleration that pins you to your seat; its heart beats at a calm and comfortable pace. The suspension, firm but not uncomfortable, along with its small turning circle, conveys a sense of agility and control that makes you feel like you own the street, turning every journey into a simple and pleasant experience.
Design and aesthetics
This is where the Picanto GT Line truly captivates. Its sporty aesthetic, with more aggressive bumpers, red accents, and a simulated dual exhaust outlet, gives it an overwhelming personality. It looks like a car from a higher segment that has shrunk in the wash. The 15-inch wheels complete a visually very powerful and balanced package. It's a design that doesn't age, that continues to turn heads, and that makes you smile every time you approach it.
Technology and features
For its time, the Picanto GT Line offered a very decent technological package, focused on making life on board easier. The infotainment system with a touchscreen becomes the command center, while the rearview camera and connectivity are indispensable allies in daily life. Although it's not a showcase of the latest innovations, it more than delivers by offering the necessary tools for a modern urbanite, prioritizing usability over ostentation.
Competition
In the jungle of small cars, the Picanto GT Line faced tough competitors like the Hyundai i10, its platform sibling, the Volkswagen Group trio of the Up!, Mii, and Citigo, and the ever-stylish Fiat 500 and Renault Twingo. However, the KIA managed to stand out with a bolder design and a value proposition of equipment, price, and warranty that few could match, offering a very emotionally appealing package.
Conclusion
The KIA Picanto 1.2 GT Line Aut. is a car with a soul. It's proof that practicality doesn't have to be at odds with style and emotion. Its greatest virtue is offering the feeling of driving something special on everyday commutes. Although its automatic transmission prioritizes comfort over dynamism, it is the ideal city companion, a rational little indulgence that combines spectacular design with the reliability and sensibility of the KIA brand.
